ABSTRACT
This paper outlines the description for the Air Hugs project, which is a large-scale interactive installation that transforms the space around the passerby using actuated inflatables and computer vision. The author provides a historical overview of inflatables and specifically examines their use as a driver for innovative shifts in the discipline of architecture. The hug, throughout the paper, is appropriated as a discursive tool for framing the theoretical context and for describing novel ways of generating contemporary forms of experience through architectural performance.

Air+touch: interweaving touch & in-air gestures
UIST '14: Proceedings of the 27th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyWe present Air+Touch, a new class of interactions that interweave touch events with in-air gestures, offering a unified input modality with expressiveness greater than each input modality alone. We demonstrate how air and touch are highly complementary: ...
Exploring team sensemaking in air traffic control (ATC): insights from a field study in low visibility operations
Sensemaking helps teams coordinate their efforts to understand and anticipate events in uncertain situations. While it is recognized that breakdowns in team sensemaking can lead to incidents, next generation air traffic management (ATM) projects have ...
Pen + Mid-Air: An Exploration of Mid-Air Gestures to Complement Pen Input on Tablets
NordiCHI '16: Proceedings of the 9th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer InteractionIn this paper, we report on a series of studies, exploring the potential of pen and mid-air input on tablets. We describe a field study with an early prototype of a drawing application and follow-up inquiries, such as the development and comparison of ...
